Anyone who is “ pro war” might suggest that the reason the country should go to war is because it will win. Some people see the other side that the battle is against as having lost, once they surrender. Yet war is really one of those things that no one wins it. The media might declare a winner, but this is not the case. War is not like a long distance race in which the first person to cross the finish line is declared the winner. Instead it is just a matter of looking at who lost more.
Casualties
Definitely within a war the number of casualties are unbelievable. The longer the war persists, the worse the number of casualties. The awful part of this situation is that the people killed or injured are usually those who have no idea why their is a war going on. In the country the war is against, the bombs might injure or kill the wives, mothers, and children that the men left behind to fight in the war. These are the people who are greatly affected as they are to poor to leave the area. Not only are the civilians injured but also the soldiers who have left or drafted to fight in the war.
Disruption To Family Life
Another reason in which there is no real winner in a war is the disruption it does to the life of a family. With the father or brother away, the women in the country must earn a living and provide for their children. It could take years before the male returns to the household, and this is if he ever returns. Therefore, there are some countries in which there are villages of only women.
Disruption To The Economy
A third reason no really wins a war is the way it affects the economy of both nations. In the end it is such a drain on the country’s financial resources.
